What reasons keep you from contributing to GCC?
The lack of time, for the most part.
I submitted a feature request once. It's now four years old, still
open, and the last message it received was two years ago. (PR26061)
The average time for acceptance of a PR with a patch submission from an
outsider such as ourselves is over 2 years, and by then the patch no
longer fits, has to be reworked, and is about to become moot.
I still have the FSF paperwork in force, as far as I know, from over a
decade ago, prior to my current employment. Does it become valid again
upon termination of employment? My current employer has no problem with
the FSF paperwork for employees whose primary job is maintenance of gnu
software (with committee approval), but this does not extend to those of
us for whom it is a secondary role. There once was a survey requesting
responses on how our FSF submissions compared before and after current
employment began, but no summary of the results.
